Hi,

I was able to share screen successfully and it’s showing on the browser. But Unfortunately, the remote users of my Get a Room Application can’t see the published shared screen (Though, they can see me).

Need help, please.

Below is the source code.

```
<!-- The HTML Tag -->
 <div id="session" hidden>
	<div id="videos" class="row no-margin"> </div>
</div>

    function getChromeVersion() {
        var raw = navigator.userAgent.match(/Chrom(e|ium)\/([0-9]+)\./);

        return raw ? parseInt(raw[2], 10) : false;
    }

    function getFirefoxVersion() {
        var isFirefox = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') > -1;
        return navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox');
    }

    function shareMyScreen() {
        if(getChromeVersion() >= 72 || getFirefoxVersion() >= 66) {
            OV = new OpenVidu();
            var sessionScreen = OV.initSession();
            getToken().then((token) => {
                sessionScreen.connect(token).then(() => {
                    var publisher = OV.initPublisher("videos", { videoSource: "screen" });
            
                    publisher.once('accessAllowed', (event) => {
                        publisher.stream.getMediaStream().getVideoTracks()[0].addEventListener('ended', () => {
                            console.log('User pressed the "Stop sharing" button');
                        });
                        sessionScreen.publish(publisher);
            
                    });
            
                    publisher.once('accessDenied', (event) => {
                        console.warn('ScreenShare: Access Denied');
                    });
            
                }).catch((error => {
                    console.warn('There was an error connecting to the session:', error.code, error.message);
            
                }));
            });

        }else{
            var OV = new OpenVidu();
            var publisher = OV.initPublisher('videos', { videoSource: "screen" }, function(error) {
                if (error.name == 'SCREEN_EXTENSION_NOT_INSTALLED') {
                    showWarning(error.message);
            
                } else if (error.name == 'SCREEN_SHARING_NOT_SUPPORTED') {
                    alert('Your browser does not support screen sharing');
                } else if (error.name == 'SCREEN_EXTENSION_DISABLED') {
                    alert('You need to enable screen sharing extension');
                } else if (error.name == 'SCREEN_CAPTURE_DENIED') {
                    alert('You need to choose a window or application to share');
                }
            });
        }
        
    }

```
